Whether to your dismay or delight, the Blue Angels are back this year for Seafair weekend, Seattle’s annual summer spectacle from August 1 to 3 that features a glowing, nighttime parade (Seattle Sounders players Clint Dempsey and DeAndre Yedlin are the co-grand marshals!), hydroplane boat races, an air show and fireworks. While there are myriad stretches in Beacon Hill, Mercer Island, Seward Park and Mt. Baker where you can plunk down and watch the scene unfurl in all its summery glory (check for I-90 and bridge closures here) amid your fellow Seattleites and Eastsiders, these nine dwellings, all featured on Porch.com, have seriously enviable private views. Our invitations to these at-home Seafair weekend celebrations are in the mail, right?
